TCL P635 review<\/h2>\n
The TCL P635 TV series is available in diagonals from 43 to 75 inches.\u00a0We note right away that the TCL P638 does not have the TCL 75P638 model in its arsenal.\u00a0And this is one of the differences between the two new series.\u00a0The picture quality of the 50P635 TV in question, as an entry-level model from TCL, is good and can get even better with the right settings.\u00a0All models in the series are equipped with\u00a0VA\u00a0panels with a claimed maximum brightness of 300 nits.\u00a0For the TCL 65P635 TV, the manufacturer indicated 350 nits.<\/p>\n
Design<\/h3>\n
The P635 series from TCL is copied from most similar models in terms of design and aesthetics.\u00a0The minimalist design of the TCL 50P635 only focuses on the TV screen.\u00a0The buyer at first glance gets the maximum “visual space”, which is provided by thin metal frames at the edges of the screen.<\/p>\n A nearly bezelless TV with a black stand.\u00a0The bezel-less look and the wider lower bezel with the TCL logo underline the design decision in terms of a departure from the budget option.\u00a0The thin legs of the stand are located closer to the edges of the TCL 50P635 screen.<\/p>\n All models are equipped with just such stands, so you should provide a surface that is sufficient in length.\u00a0This is especially true for 65 and 75 diagonals.\u00a0As usual, wall mounting is also provided.\u00a0For 50 inch TV, VESA size is 200x200mm.\u00a0Connections are made on the right side of the TV.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TV 50P635 received a simple VA panel with a native frequency of 60 Hz.\u00a0The presence of a panel of this type determines the “final” quality of the picture.\u00a0Such a panel has a high contrast ratio, which cannot be said about a competing IPS panel.\u00a0On the other hand, this is a price to pay for relatively low viewing angles.\u00a0Although modern technology allows VA screens to be at a good level of viewing angles, but, unfortunately, not in budget models.\u00a0Therefore, the considered model 50P635 is best viewed directly in front of the screen.<\/p>\n Depending on the diagonal, the P635 series TVs have an average contrast ratio of 5000:1.\u00a0As we know, VA panel provides quite deep blacks, but under certain conditions.\u00a0In a darkened room, films on the TCL 50P635 TV screen look comfortable.\u00a0However, there are no contrast “improvers” in this series other than Micro Dimming.<\/p>\n It is strange that with direct illumination, as in the TCL\u00a0P737\u00a0series , the manufacturer could implement the local dimming function in different zones.\u00a0But no, this is not provided for in the budget series.\u00a0Regarding playback in\u00a0HDR10\u00a0mode , we can say about the peak brightness value – only 330 nits.<\/p>\n As a result, the 50P635 model will not be able to implement high-quality HDR mode.\u00a0According to statistics, to provide a more or less correct picture in HDR, at least 540 nits of maximum brightness is required.\u00a0And only under this condition can you see the difference between SDR and HDR images.\u00a0The TCL 50P635 TV uses a 10-bit panel, 8 bit + FRC to be exact.<\/p>\n The TCL P635 series has the bonus of using Google TV and built-in Google Assistant.\u00a0These features bring together movies, shows, TV and more, giving you access to a huge video library.\u00a0As they say, everything is in one place.\u00a0The content search function is extremely simple and helps the user to find new movies and programs.\u00a0Google Assistant lets you control compatible home devices.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, the series uses the Android TV 11 operating system . The TCL 50P635 is equipped with TCL’s own UI. Despite the claimed Google Assistant, the series comes with a simple remote control.<\/p>\n Streaming from mobile devices is provided by the Chromecast function.\u00a0You can view content from your smartphone or laptop on the TV screen.\u00a0The TCL P635 4K hardware is supported by A55\u00d74 32-bit CPU with a maximum frequency of 1.3GHz and a G31 MP2 GPU with a frequency of 800MHz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TCL P635 TVs are provided with normal sound quality.\u00a0What does “normal” mean?\u00a0– Here we mean the budget models.\u00a0The audio system has a total power of 20 watts.\u00a0The 2.0 CH sound scheme is capable of sounding good at normal volume levels.\u00a0You can additionally play with sound settings and improve the intelligibility of dialogues.<\/p>\n For high-quality sound effects in cool films, you should use a separate soundbar.\u00a0There are no Dolby Atmos and DTS in the specifications, but only Dolby Audio is present.\u00a0This is another difference from the TCL P638 series.\u00a0As usual, you won’t see the type of audio content being played on the 50P635’s screen.\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0is\u00a0not supported.<\/p>\n Connections to the TCL 50 P 635 TV are commensurate with simple options.\u00a0Having one HDMI 2.1 port with ALLM brings optimism.\u00a0In addition, there are standard connections via a pair of USB 2.0 and 3.0.\u00a0The user will have access to 3.5 mm headphone jacks and an analog AV input.\u00a0Wireless connectivity is represented by Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.0.\u00a0There is an optical audio output and an RJ-45 LAN port.<\/p>\n As you can see, the budget TCL P635 series is suitable for simple and everyday viewing. An internet connection is required for any additional entertainment.\u00a0After that, you can access streaming services.<\/p>\n Officially, the TCL P635<\/a> series has a warranty.\u00a0This is not to say that the series has ideal characteristics in terms of image and functionality.\u00a0But given the low cost of this series of TVs, they can be recommended as a “second TV in the house.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The TCL P635 line of 4K LED TVs has appeared on the official website.\u00a0This series is 2022 with HDR10 support, however, they are not available just yet.
